US Midterm Elections

Nov 3, 2026, Polls close from 6:00 p.m. ET

Americans vote for all 435 seats in the House of Representatives, about a third of the Senate and 36 governors. US markets stay open; the balance of power in Congress shapes the odds of new fiscal, tax and trade legislation for the last two years of the presidential term, and results usually arrive overnight into November 4.
